The Washington Capitals winger's ordeal started when he used the restroom at the team's hotel in Dallas. After he was finished, the door didn't cooperate.

"Basically we had the whole Dallas swat team come in and still couldn't open the door," Ward told reporters afterward, according to The Washington Post. "The latch on the inside where I was would turn but the bolt wouldn't move, I think it was stripped. The bolt was just chilling."
